Oleg's example is quite close, don't you think?

Ah yes, if you have two lazy input streams both referring to the same underlying stream, that is enough to demonstrate a problem. As for whether Oleg's example is within the rules, it depends whether you consider fdToHandle as "unsafe":
Is relying on seq to show the difference allowed, according to your rules on an insecurity proof?
Absolutely.
What about handles from System.Process? Do they count as well?
Sure - we hopefully don't consider System.Process to be unsafe. Cheers, Simon
